From Dunderry to Prague. Its been a busy weekend for Trim AC members.

Brian Cully each year heads west to raise funds for Temple St Hospital. The Aran Islands Half Marathon is one of the most scenic runs you will do which is why it attracts so many participants every year. The entire route passes through magnificent coastline scenery with fine views of wide bays and sandy beaches, making its beauty world famous.
